God of War: Ascension for PS3 Leaked by Amazon - Trailer Included!

There have been little things leading to the possibility of a new God of War game for a while now, such as a retailer taking pre-orders for God of War 4 and a composer listing the same game under their resume. It's now been made official that we are indeed receiving a new entry in the series -- something that was supposed to wait until an official announcement from Sony and instead leaked by online retailer, Amazon. This particular game in the series is titled God of War: Ascension and will be making its appearance on the PlayStation 3.

Another lucky thing for us to get from this leak is a nifty looking trailer! Based on what little we are told, it appears that this game might be a prequel.

I would figure they'd do a prequel considering he wound up wiping out the entire greek pantheon after the third game. Maybe this installment will showcase Kratos having other emotions aside from "Pissed off" and "Rip-roaring Pissed Off."

I'm not a huge fan of prequels either, I'd rather them go forward with the story and not backward. We already know about Krato's past. That being said I don't know where they could take a sequel considering how the third game played out, and sometimes prequels can be worthwhile. I'm just glad there is a new God of War coming out.
